well ****.....
i think it might be ok...
i might feel really stupid after this one... lol

so ya the actuator has free play from 6 till 11oclock and then i can move it slightly from 11 to 12 (using a wrench), and it returns to the 11oclock position

i thought there was a greater distance for it to move
but it seems like it will work
after i adjust the cables (i think the cables are stretched, at the extremes of the adjustments, and will need replacing) I finally have resistance on my clutch lever!

well i guess ill put the motor back together, when i get the gaskets in, and see if it will work.

thanks for the reply.

it totally slipped my mind that it would be possible for it to move so little but still be doing its job.

thanks so much for the reply

..... ya i had it put together correctly, i just didn't think it was.....
you opened my eyes lol
thanks again

I was reading that the ex250f had a 'positive neutral finder' so you can only shift to N and 1 while standing still, and you can not push start the bike in second
So, when I tried to 'push start the bike' while rolling down the hill, i thought i might've damaged something, but i guess i was mistaken.

and i guess the new springs did fix the problem

hopefully the problem was all in my head, and when i get the motor running, the wheels will be spinning!
